Chapter 258: Griffin Egg Auction
Three days later, the much-anticipated auction finally began.
To Ari's surprise, the auction house that auctioned the griffon's eggs turned out to be Ferris's family's property.
Doyle Auction House, the largest auction venue in Atlanta City, is also one of the many properties under the command of Doyle Comptoir, the top trading house in mainland China.
In the Barak Kingdom, the influence of the Doyle family can be said to be very far-reaching, in front of this family, the rich and rival country is not just an adjective, if you want to talk about the influence in the north of the continent, the Barak Kingdom is really not necessarily comparable to the Doyle family.
The Doyle family has a long history, has developed on the mainland for hundreds of years, and the relationship can be described as complicated, and according to some gossip, this rich family seems to be the source of the funds behind the ninth prince Tolkien.
Now that Tolkien is in power, the Doyle family has taken advantage of the situation to get involved in the kingdom's business, political, and even military circles, and it is no longer a joke to bear half of the kingdom's taxes.
Therefore, with the strong background of the Doyle family as the backstage, the Doyle Auction House has also become more and more smooth, and no one dares to beat their ideas.
......
Before the auction began, Ari took Lilia to the Doyle auction in a carriage, looking at the huge auction hall at the end of the street, Ari's psychology suddenly itched, when will his industry reach this point, three years, five years, or ten years.
Ari thought for a moment, then turned back to Lilia and Eudora and said, "Are you confident that you can do this in Atlanta City in five years?"
Eudora looked at the majestic venue in front of her, she was not timid at all, and said with a smug face: "If it weren't for the boss who abducted Simon and them, I would have dominated the underground forces of Atlanta City!"
Lilia said expressionlessly: "As long as Simon and them go to the Youth Gang, five years, there will be no problem." β
After hearing their words, Ari immediately observed a minute of silence for the assassins, Eudora may have said something unintentionally, but Lilia is definitely not, she doesn't even want to use the family samurai, and she will definitely not think about the help of forces other than the Young Gang, Ari estimates that the reason why she said this is obviously to find a way to get back the power, and then retaliate against the assassins......
When the waiter waiting at the door of the auction house heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and his good professionalism made him laugh out loud without being present. In five years, I want to reach the power of the Doyle Comptoir in Atlanta City, whose child is this, so I will blow.
The waiter saw the three of them laughing and walking in, smiling but resolutely stopped in front of them, and said in a respectful tone and a playful look: "Please show me the invitation card for the auction." β
"Wait. Ari was stunned when he heard this, Ferris did give him one, but he casually threw it into the spatial ring. Fortunately, the invitation is still there, otherwise it is estimated that it will inevitably be ridiculed, after all, it is the property of the Ferris family, and the face-slapping plot is not suitable here.
The ring on his thumb flashed faintly, and a gilded tassel invitation appeared on his hand, and he looked at the waiter and asked, "Only one, no problem." β
When the waiter saw the invitation card suddenly appear, he was a little surprised, the space ring is not something that everyone can have, especially when he is so young.
When he saw the location on the invitation, he was even more surprised, he didn't know who the user of Hall One was, after all, although Ferris's whereabouts were not secret, they were not known to any person. However, the location of the No. 1 hall is real, it is a private room that can only be used by the most distinguished guests of the family! It is said that it was booked early, and even many top nobles did not book it.
"No problem, there is no limit to the number of people in the VIP room. Although the waiter was awe-inspiring in his heart, he showed a good attitude on his face, and after checking the authenticity of the invitation, he hurriedly said with a respectful face.
Led by the waiter, the three of them walked into the auction house. As soon as he entered, Ari's eyes lit up, the auction hall was better than he had imagined, the hall was resplendent and splendid, and it was not difficult to accommodate thousands of people in a wide space, but the noise in the hall made him a little uncomfortable.
followed the waiter to the box on the second floor, where Ferris and Leopold Carol were already waiting. Compared with the magnificence of the hall, the box is much more restrained, but in Ari's opinion, this dress is more clever.
"You're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Ferris greeted with a smile when he saw Ari come in.
When he saw Lilia, his eyes lit up, and he patted his chest and said confidently: "Wait for any lot you like, tell me, I'll shoot it for you." β
Seeing his gaze sneaking at Lilia from time to time, Ari was a little amused, and said narrowly, "You can also take a picture of the griffin eggs you like?" Lilia really wants that. β
Ferris's expression froze when he heard this, and then he said with a bitter face: "The griffin egg you said not only I want, but both Leopold and Carol want, but now there is only one, and I am struggling with it." β
"I'm kidding you. Ari smiled and took Eudora and Lilia to find a seat and sit down.
When Ari and the others sat down, Carol suddenly asked, "Little fat man, don't introduce these two to us." β
Although Carol said that she was introducing the two, her eyes were always on Lilia, she had seen Lilia at the banquet, but there were many people at that time, and the two didn't speak, but Ferris ran to the base every day these days, and the Young Pioneers basically knew each other.
Lilia glanced at Carol when she heard this, and Carol was also looking at her, and between the two women's eyes, there was a faint spark in their eyes.
"This is Lilia, this is Eudora, they are both from the same village as Ari, let me tell you, Lilia is amazing, and now they are both apprentices in magic......" Ferris said a word when he introduced Eudora, and when he introduced Lilia, his face was full of excitement, and he looked like he couldn't stop.
Carol's faint gaze swept over his back, and the smile on Ferris's round face suddenly froze, and he felt murderous......
He wanted to cry a little, grandma, you asked me to introduce you......
As soon as Ferris stopped, the atmosphere in the box was suddenly a little awkward, and at this moment, Carol suddenly smiled, nodded at Lilia, and said, "I'm Carol, Ari's...... Students, please give me a lot of advice. β
When Ari heard her say this, his heart relaxed, he was really afraid that Carol would come up with a sentence about Eri's fiancΓ©e, which would be difficult to explain......
......
"Hello everyone, now that the auction has officially begun, I would like to introduce you to the first lot of the day......"
At this time, under the light in the center of the auction room, a well-dressed and beautiful woman was standing by the display table, explaining the items in her hand to everyone in the room, but the coquettish voice did not match her dressing style.
"Congratulations to buyer No. 76 for bidding for the first lot, the magic sword ...... made by Master Kenig himself" In the woman's soft whisper, the price of the long sword, which was not too unusual, actually sold for a very good price.
After the auction was completed, the woman swept her eyes vaguely from the No. 1 box, but so far, the VIPs of the No. 1 box did not show up, and she was a little disappointed, she knew that today's No. 1 box must be a big person. The auction house was a guest in Box No. 1, and asked her to dress up well today, and the most important thing is to ask her to dress tightly......
What kind of guests like this special tune......
"Worthy of being the chief auctioneer of Doyle's auction house, Nika, a beauty that everyone in Atlanta City knows, if it weren't for that mature and charming style, I would almost be unrecognizable when I put on my clothes......" A man stared at Nika's plump and delicate charming curves with burning eyes, a little unstoppable.
"Have you ever seen her undressed?" The man next to him heard his words, imagining the fragrant picture, and his nose almost bleeded.
The man's eyes stared greedily at Nika's ruddy cherry mouth, and he smiled: "What is the difference between what she usually wears and what she doesn't......"
The man next to him also smiled when he heard this: "But I've seen too much, and it looks like this kind of dress." β
......
I have to say that this woman named Nika is very good at taking advantage of beautiful women, whether she is charming or frowning, she will make the price of the lot skyrocket, and whenever someone successfully auctions the lot, she will also send a sweet smile, which makes people think about it.
Between the chuckle of this charming woman, the climax of the auction is wave after wave.
Aridu couldn't help but snap a few lots and give them to Lilia and Eudora.
"Hehe, everyone, the next auction item is the finale of this auction, and I think many people should come for it. After auctioning off the items in her hand, Nika suddenly clapped her jade hand and said with a smile on her face.
Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly brought up a box covered with red silk cloth.
"This thing is the young egg of the fifth-order Warcraft Griffin, the griffin may be a little unfamiliar to everyone, it is rumored that the griffin used to be the mount of the elven race, and there are few opponents of the same level of Warcraft, the most important thing is that it is very suitable as a mount, if you can become a griffin knight, don't let it go if you have the ability. When it came to her abilities, Nika licked her lips lightly and smiled seductively.
"Miss Nika, let's get started, I'm a little impatient. Someone in the audience shouted loudly, with a pun, causing a burst of laughter.
Nika's pretty face was just the right amount of red, delicate and delicate, although she knew that she was pretending, but there was a swallowing "grunt" sound in the auction room. She said slightly shyly: "Griffin eggs, the starting price, 10,000 gold coins, each increase is not less than 1,000 gold coins!"
As the price of 10,000 gold coins spat out of her cherry-like mouth, the audience suddenly fell silent, as if they were shocked by this price. However, Nika did not panic at all, and glanced at everyone with a shallow smile. This price may scare many people in normal times, but it is definitely not today, just from the many regular customers who can usually sit in the box, but now sit in the hall, you can roughly guess a thing or two.
As she guessed, the silence didn't last long, and a middle-aged man sitting in the first row took the lead in holding up the sign and said in a deep voice: "Twenty thousand gold coins!"
Nika suddenly smiled like a flower, looking at the middle-aged man's eyes coquettishly dripping water, 20,000 gold coins! This price can already make her a lot of money, not to mention that this is just the beginning, she feels that it is very likely to fetch a sky-high price today! Even if the middle-aged man is also a veteran of the party, he can't help but feel a ripple in his heart.
Sure enough, soon an old man made a faint bid: "Thirty thousand!"
The old man is a wealthy merchant in Atlanta, and only one son in his family is studying at Atlanta College, so he must have done whatever it takes to take pictures of this griffin egg for his only son.
When the middle-aged man saw someone scrambling, he immediately raised his voice: "Sixty thousand gold coins!"
As soon as this price came out, a large number of people in the venue frowned, and it was obvious that this price was beyond their expectations. The middle-aged man looked around, slightly proud, and doubled twice in a row, making the price six times higher than the auction price!
He looked at Nika, and Nika's eyes showed a hint of admiration at the right time, and then after touching his gaze, he avoided in a panic, and his gesture of wanting to refuse and welcome made his heart even more unbearable.
"Sixty-one thousand gold coins......" a young woman wearing a cloak sounded in the venue.
Everyone in the No. 1 box heard this voice, their expressions were slightly stunned, Leopold looked at the woman who couldn't see her face clearly, and asked with an uncertain expression: "That's ...... Teacher Lian?"
Ferris was also a little unsure: "I also think the sound is a bit similar, it should be." β
"Whether it's or not, we'll find out later," Ari glanced at the venue and said with a nonchalant expression, "Anyway, don't you want that griffin egg, why don't you bid?"
Ferris shook his head and said, "It's still too early, the talents in the other boxes are our competitors, and the estimated price of this griffin egg from the family is between 200,000 and 500,000 gold coins." β
"Such a big gap?" said Ari, surprised.
"Although the griffin egg is more precious, it is only a fifth-level demonic beast after all, and the price is about 100,000 gold coins. "It wasn't Ferris who spoke, it was Carol.
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lilia before continuing: "The excess price is on the person behind this griffin egg, or above the location of the griffin herd, what is really valuable is the information that the seller knows, so it is difficult to estimate what price will be auctioned in the end." However, if it exceeds 300,000 gold coins, these people may choose to cooperate, so the chance of getting 500,000 gold coins is very small. β
After saying that, she raised her head slightly and glanced at Lilia demonstratively. Lilia pursed her lips and said what's the use of saying so much?Have you been to Griffon Valley?
Ai Rui thought for a while, and asked a little puzzled: "Since you want it, and the auction house is your family's, why don't you operate it secretly, I believe your family has this strength." β
Ferris shook his head again and said, "The benefit of a griffin egg is not enough to make my family lose credibility for this, not to mention that if I really want to, there is no reason why I can't shoot it." β
Ari nodded admiringly, being rich is capricious.
